Who's Afraid of a Hard Page Load? (2024)

The inability to open links in a new tab is far too common, so sloppy, and I LOATHE it.

Too many e-commerce websites won’t let you do this, which means comparing items in the results is excruciating. Even worse, some disallow new tabs AND lose your search results or sorting/filtering when you hit back to return to the list view.

SPA-as-default is a plague on humanity.
